While this city received a decent overall grade, its inspection grade is more impressive than the city's overall grade. Due to some of its nursing homes receiving favorable inspection reports this year, Shelby received one of our higher scores in this category with a B+. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Shelby earned a B in the area of short-term care. In the last two categories, Shelby were awarded a C in our long-term care category and a grade of D in nursing. Although we found the rest of its profile to be decent, this low nursing rating is not a very good sign for nursing staffing levels.
